Did you depart from/return to Auckland? Because I somehow liked this airport. Maybe because it was so cozy and nice when compared to Hong Kong...
The convenience (and cheaperness) of being able to leave from my city of residence, rather than having to make a connecting flight to Auckland, was definitely a factor in my plans.
It's been ten years since I flew to Auckland, I don't remember the airport there at all.
